EDL Endangers Country As Protests Continue

The recent outrage over the cheap anti-Islam film made by some mysterious producer is something to be very cautious over. Attacks have been made, places have been vandalised and people have been even killed.

Without a doubt, the best way to address the issue would not be to add salt to the wound and make people angrier. But parts of the far right, like the English Defence League (EDL) group, are doing just that. For example:

  • EDL Divisions have promoted the anti-Islam film on Facebook.
  • The EDL urged people to oppose and provoke the small group of protestors outside the U.S. embassy in London today.
  • The EDL leader Tommy Robinson tweeted that he will be booking a venue to screen the anti-Islam film to others.
  • He also tweeted that a newspaper phoned him to warn him that his tweets are endangering embassies abroad! He's done this once before too (here).


So will doing these things make things any better? No. It’ll make things worse. So it’s obvious that parts of the EDL do not care for the safety of themselves, the ones abroad or the British public.

  2. Tommy Robinson only cares about himself! Of course he won't bother listen! Even many EDL members hate him.
